Closet cleanup

I know that this is totally off subject but I started my new eating habits as of yesterday. I stayed under 1800 calories today and I am so proud. It’s really going to take some getting used to. I have never been one to count calories, I always just guesstimate how fattening or healthy a meal is by just giving it my ‘evaluation’. Not smart, I know. I found this really great app on my blackberry which tells me the general caloric count of meals including fast food which will be a great help.

Anyway, note to self- start slowly. I know that I did not get this way over night and I have to keep telling myself that change will come gradually. I’m trying to log what I am eating and also am logging my exercise. I will post a summary after about a week or so.

Okay so back to my original story. After cruising a couple of my favorite blogs I got the sudden urge to organize my closet, random I know, well after hanging up a few items I started to notice a pattern. All of my clothes is all the same. Big billowy shirts that hide my body. I also noticed that the only shorts that I have are shorts to sleep in. 😦 It’s summer and I don’t feel comfortable in a pair of shorts.

So after checking every item of clothes that I own I have decided that I will donate a item of clothing once a week. Starting with the comfortable stuff better known as my ‘fat pants’. This I hope will give me motivation to stick to what I am doing. In the past I have shied away from buying new clothes. My excuse: If I lose weight next week it will be a waste of money. No more of that fat. 😉
